I'm not running D&D right now, but I'll throw in the setting my group's rocking these days:
Take Cowboy Bebop-like, "John Woo Space Opera" setting and add in the lightest bit of classic myths and folklore that pretty much nobody in the setting believes in if they aren't 'practitioners'. FTL travel is used by punching through 'subspace,' which is literally the fae realm of dreams and madness.

So basically, Hellboy in space.

>Time is falling apart and neither the bureaucrats nor the scholars are doing anything about it. If that wasn't bad enough, the elementalists are listening to trance music in the street at 3 AM again.

>There are too many guilds, unions, and orders to count, and they all keep stepping on each others' toes. Pick a faction.

Not DnD but... it takes place in a strangereal esque modern fantasy world where the east is filled with roided out monsters and great resources and there's a sort of huge gold rush heading towards the east to get in on those sweet resource rich places. The massive upheaval of frontiersmen causes a lot of destabilization, mercenaries are common and border skirmishes occur a lot, anything far enough east is entirely unowned land, so there's periods where towns and other communities are the law of the land. Bandits run wild out there along with the aforementioned monsters. Far enough west there's lots of racism as western humans don't take kindly to all the non-humans stemming from being assblasted about losing a war about 700 years ago, despite the fact they essentially got to keep all their winnings anyways. But the world is slowly turning into a better place as things calm down and the eastern people accept each other regardless of race.

It is how I call the universal laws in my homebrew, but they have to do with gods as much as gravity, and how love and hate are integral for Creation to exist. Reposting what I typed in a "how to justify Underdark?" thread:

1/2

Prana is the primordial element from which all others are made. It is also know as life-force or soulstuff, because souls are self-contained and organized acumulations of prana. Any and all sentient beings have souls*, while animals have proto-souls. Having a soul in the first place demands that something has its own name, making it distinct enough that it may acquire spiritual links with other soul-possessing beings. Such links are called "ley lines", happening whenever one develops feelings of any kind upon something**. Prana flows through ley lines***.

The planet in question qualifies. Known as Ghara by most of its inhabitants, all of which either developed strong feelings upon it. Fondness of one's homeland, hating a war-torn kingdom, wishing to conquer your neighbors' lands, all this makes a ley line ultimately connected to the planet itself. The daily routine of one billion soul-possessing mortals sustains Ghara's Soul, which is further strengthened by being worshipped as a earth-goddess/father-god/Land Spirit by most of them.

Gravity is not an effect of mass, but of prana. Ghara's Soul is the greater concentration of prana other than the Sun. Its cosmic purpose is to make itself suitable for the living of soul-bearing creatures. Its own survival also depends on having souls linked to it.

That's why gravity is uniform throughout the crust: more living space to eventually house soul-bearing beings. Dwarfs are the most common example of this."

2/2
That's why certain asteroids and small planetary bodies have a gravity far greater than their mass, while some desert and dead planets have a pull as weak as the moon and are currently slowly disintegrating.

Theoretically, a nameless and unfeeling being could be free of gravity, but its metaphysical make-up would be so distorted as to make it dangerous. Ghosts such as the death cloud are posited by some scholars as proof of this.

*Except for demons and devils; their cosmical existence is parasitic, feeding upon the prana of existence. They favor souls because those are a concentration of refined prana, but some demons are known to engage in grand-scale draining of prana from the environment itself. Wastes such as the Unquiet Lands are places which never recovered from their invasion 500 years ago.

**This phenomena is also responsible for generating new prana which the ley web conducts into the stars, where it is refined and partially transformed into the other elements. Sunlight is refined prana.

***A soul can be thought of as a single ley line formed into a dense knot, whose arrangement is so unique as to codify the memories, personality and even physical characteristics of the corresponding being. It also takes the place of DNA and is called Pranic Holonogram, or PHG.

There's more stuff, but that enough text unless someone is actually interested.

now elves are running amok, the dwarves have locked themselves in their holds, the nation states of not europe are panicing and some asshole found a piece of saurons not!ring and started releasing daemons to again kick everyones ass, in the midst of all this a solar comes to the logical conclusion that the world is now worse than hell and the only way to save the mortals is to MURDER THEM ALL.

It's exactly what it sounds like. The PCs are performers on the tournament circuit - bards, cavaliers, a wizard who specializes in 'special effects' - who were constantly trying to one-up their rivals. Their rivals told their groupies that their next gig would be in the Holy Land, in the capital city currently held by an undead tyrant.

The problem is that the Holy Land is an insanely hostile place. Fortunately, thousands of fans were already flocking there in anticipation. When the PCs brought the church and their Paladins into the fray, it was less 'planning a new gig' and more 'invading the fuck out of the place'.

So there are actually two armies (or two crusades) headed for the undead tyrant's city, each one supporting their respective band, looking to get there first.

It's not D&D, but here goes:

In a world on the brink of war, a half-giant pirate Captain and a fur trader with a spiritually linked bear companion try to eke out a living on the great frontier.

The ruling monarch sent his personal forces to replenish the border forces and mysteriously died, with his heir not taking the throne and noble families de facto ruling the nation piecemeal, do whatever they'd like.
Also, the world may be doomed in one of several ways.

I basically slapped together a bunch of shit from early/mid 1990s JRPGs, specifically Final Fantasy IV, Phantasy Star IV, Chrono Trigger, and a couple others and called it a D&D campaign.

The tl;dr of it is that each moon has four crystals that govern the forces of nature, and there's an evil empire on the furthest moon that found a way to travel between them (technology left behind by an ancient advanced civilization that mysteriously died out) and is waging war to take all the crystals for reasons the PCs have yet to discover.

The game started out pretty standard fantasy but I've been ratcheting it up into space fantasy.

Your good old-fashioned kitchen sink. But also with a lot of goofy bullshit.

As much as I love original settings, settings like these are a nice change of pace every once in a while.
You're a good guy, anon.

It's not isekai, the anons were people given power and it ended up as if pretty much as if /tg/ had finished with the Unified setting save for that it had 6 planets and other weird shit that was already there when they got there. The PCs are races made by the gods, with all base classes made by a god as well, prestige classes were made by mortals. There are ruins from the last grouping of gods on the central planet that no one can really explain with lots of focus on faction shit, archaeology, dungeon delving, and various other shit on the central planet. Each of the planets was based around a certain kind of campaign type and by accident ended up being loosely M:tG in using colours and shit that way.

The world and all of its inhabitants have a deeply ingrained xenophobia, which means that there are almost no adventurers, and nobody bothers to make friends with neighboring towns and kingdoms, to the point that a village may not know the existence of a town a day's walk away. In a world where no one knows what is beyond their hometown, a group of people look for a fabled lost kingdom...

Island so boring that nothing literally happens and fate bends reality to ensure that nothing of significance ever happens, and only animals ever notice this. The definition of "animal" is a topic up for debate when it comes to the beast men.
